eAutoclaims.com Unveils Appraiser eLink(TM) to Insurance Claims IndustryPALM HARBOR, Fla., Dec. 19 eAutoclaims.com(TM) (OTC Bulletin Board: EACC) introduced Appraiser eLink(TM) to the market today. The new Internet application enables field staff or independent adjusters to upload completed appraisal assignments and photos to the desktops of insurance company staff regardless of the estimating software being utilized. The application enables each insurance company staff adjuster to monitor turnaround time, average paid loss, and average loss adjustment expense with a personalized "Data Repair Center" all in real-time. Eric Seidel, president and CEO of eAutoclaims commented, "This product has been in development for sometime, and may be utilized with our existing "Bricks to Clicks(TM)" Internet Claims system, or it can be used as a stand alone application. This application is very powerful, yet simple to use. Appraiser eLink(TM) has been successfully beta tested with one of our clients and is now ready for a major rollout over the coming weeks." The company has priced the product with no upfront development charges, except a small one time $22 license fee used by the field staff or an Independent Adjuster; it's fee structure is based on a small upload charge, the actual amount is determined by the users volume. The product can be hosted on the company's server, or can be hosted by the client servers and follows the model of a true ASP. "We do a certain amount of customizing for the client free of additional charges. The product is made to look like the clients and the upload site is not shared with other insurance companies," stated Gaver Powers, CIO for eAutoclaims.com. "It is a great product for carrier or TPA who is using Independent Adjusters and wants to have them connect on-line or an insurance company who has their own field staff and does not want an expensive system. The product provides the insurance company or TPA with real-time reports."
